my mind seems to be only focusing on negative thoughts, not just one but a number of them, it's like one big rush

Feeling puny today. Little grey and overcast, like the sky. Think that the lithium is starting to kick in, because in spite of feeling blah, I don't feel despondent. Not feeling crazy anxious, either. Just grey. Is that the color "normal" is?

This is strang. Thought I responded to this thread but not showing. I know I am in a mixed state at moment and may have thought I did but did not. This really messed up. I think I can label six to ten moods I am feeling simutaneously. Hope I am not the only one or getting worst.

Today I feel the backlash of yesterday. Exhausted, emotionally drained and do t care much about anything. I am trying to find a positive somewhere, I guess today I can be thankful for my Pdoc that called me back because I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown this morning and calmed me down. Will this get better? I am supposed to take Lithium, but I am scared of the side effects. Any advice? Should I go untreated? My Pdoc says I need to stabilize. Thoughts?

Today is better.
(Last night was not great. Among other things, had tough time in kitchen. How can the positive action of resolving to make some food go so wrong? (Rhetorical question: does depression make food spoil faster? Ugh.)

Went to psych appt. today. Had some crazy life-sh*** rain down over the last few weeks, was having all kinds of conflicting mood indicators and then (but of course) went and did (unauthorized ) med adjustment. Last few days made it pretty clear it was high time to get in there. (Ok, it should have been clear before that, but still…) Got got some med-taking time adjustments, ok'd on the med experiment (with "but watch for"s of course) and advised to get back on the mood charting.

It was good. Lots to think about. Hopefully it will help get me back out of the ditch.
Thanks for this!

I just started on lithium two weeks ago, from the middle of a mixed state. So far thirst is my only side effect. Maybe a little queasy tummy, but I can't tell if that is from the lithium. But my moods seem to be flattening out. I can't say I feel good. I feel less bad. I'm not up to a therapeutic dose yet. I was scared to death of the side effects but have been pleasantly surprised. I just carry a water bottle.

Woke up feeling sad, a bit scared about what I have done, now that I up and quit my job. Not sure I can get a sole practice started, especially when I feel as low as I do right now. I'm the walking wounded.

****ing hating myself. Rollercoaster going on for a week now. Aimlessly confused. Having really bad thoughts about ending myself now, but no idea what the source is. I'm just ****ing fed up. It's all so stupid and pointless...

Well, I think I'm saddling manic and hypo manic as I go from more euphoric to more agitated many times throughout the day.

I think adding DepakoteER has helped a bit but I think we got more adjusting to be done when I see my NP next.

Doing well, thank goodness. Though the days are getting darker now, we are waking up in the dark and night comes quickly after work is done. I am starting to feel the pressure of shadow but it's not as bad as usual because of my meds. (insert love of my meds) My SAD can get pretty bad but hopefully it will be subtle this year. We'll see.

My family is going through some intense, sensitive stuff right now. I am nervous about how it's going to turn out.

Cycling almost daily. Up for a day or two, then down and some mixed in between. I'm thinking about getting back on meds. Been off of them for about 8 years now.
Thanks for this!

Had an OK day. Talked over some important decisions with the tdoc.

Mostly, thinking how glad I am that I found PC and the bipolar forum. Lots of great people. Thanks for your help.

Today was a less down day. I took some Advil PM last night so I got some really good sleep which was much needed. I am really focusing and channeling my energy to find a positive in things. Trying to appreciate every breath I take. I am very thankful for finding this forum, everyone here is so kind and helpful

Very overwhelmed at work
Told my boss that I will do my best, but cannot meet his deadlines

He was okay with that
I think he was okay with it because there are rumours that
I am looking for another job

I don't go into work until 4pm tonight so it's nice to have the morning to be quiet and rest. I slept in this morning, made coffee and am now sitting outside in my deck soaking up the sun and listening to the birds sing and chirp. I have a Tdoc appt before work at 2 so I am looking forward to releasing my anger and emotions and figuring out how to deal with them.

Good day today. Did my devotionals, wrote a blog entry, made brownies for my husband's poker party, packed for a 3 day church retreat, got a shower. That's quite a bit for me.

I'm bouncing from one bad idea to another. Feeling very fragile and scared. Got an interview for a high power job in another town.

Should make me happy, right? But I'm petrified that I can't handle the stress. This is why I quit my job in the first place. I feel like I'm going in circles. I hate myself.

I'm actually doing really well. Fully out of depression and not cycling toward hypomania. Finally learning to achieve some real stability.
